Duchess Ferguson Talks New Book, Kate & William On The Couch

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is a best selling author.

Her latest book, Ballerina Rosie, is for aspiring ballet dancers. She admits the children’s book is a bit autobiographical, as she went to ballet school and things never seemed to go quite right. But the book isn’t about her.

It’s about empowering kids.

“Giving confidence, I think, literally is so important for children,” the duchess said on The Couch. “I think education is the root out of poverty, because it teaches them survival, but also it is the root for a unique individual, and I think that is really important.”
